Read Mighty Mouse's Thought For The Day - Every Day

This is the story of a tiny kitten - a runt, who was not expected to live. He refused to give in - he struggled against being put to sleep and left to die - even though people mistook him for some kind of alien mouse and not a kitten. His heart is bigger than a mountain - his love is boundless. He is an inspiration to everyone who comes in contact with him

Hi Everyone -I have managed to jam the camera so tonight's adventure is a classic from the past. It's about 7 weeks ago now that Lord Oliver Monta Purrington started looking like a kitten. To celebrate him making it that far - he invited his gorgeous but wussy best friend D'Arcy to have dinner with him in his little tent.

I wasn't thrilled about his vacuum remark. Even though it was the truth. MM went to a great deal of trouble with the food.

And tried to be the perfect host - not always easy in the circumstances.

But the beautiful D'Arcy disgraced himself by drinking far too much and passing out.

So D'Arcy slept over...and they've been doing it ever since...but we're still waiting for him to throw his first dinner party for MM

Hi everyone.Even I forget sometimes how amazing this journey has been - so, as promised, another woe to go set of pictures showing how far the little boy has comeHere's the little Alien at 4 weeks, 200gms and 5 cms. We wondered if he would ever grow into his eyes!

But two weeks later he was very very full of himself and getting quite a big head

Not only did he control the remote....he started telling us what to do...in a sweet little Mighty Mouse way of course

It took Uncle Whooshka to whack him into line. He really did need a smacked bottom.

And then of course we discovered that the smell of bananas made him stoned.

Well it's Saturday night - and Lord Oliver Monta Purrington - or Mighty Mouse as we know and love him - has been a little devil all day: Climbing up my bare legs and scratching me; jumping on the other cats , knocking things off the kitchen bench. In other words ......being a kitten.

D'Arcy is so much more sensible - and he tried to put Oliver in his place....but perhaps his methods were a little doubtful

And then Oliver was confronted by his worst nightmare!

And even though he was full of bravado - he was very scared for a little kitty.

He had sold his soul to the Devil cat - and he knew he had to get help - and who better than his best mate and brother

And of course D'Arcy saved the day. Isn't that what best friends and brothers are supposed to do?

But I have a feeling the little Mouse will be behaving himself tonight....and sleeping with one eye open, poor baby!

Hi Everyone.Lord Oliver Monta Purrington AKA Mighty Mouse is growing at a rate of knots. Today he was on my lap and I jokingly told him he might have to get a job to pay for room and board.As it happens he was watching TV and he saw one job he thought he might enjoy - so naturally, being him, he thought he would work on his TV gab.

But he's not exactly great at showing off the product

And he's not really big on patience either!

And it wasn't even his tent! Soraya is a Diva...and she was NOT amused.

Hi Everyone,In order to see all of Mighty Mouse -Lord Oliver Monta Purrington's exploits, you must be a member of Cat World or join when you click the link.So, since I know other friends and facebook people are reading, I thought it would be a good Idea to show you how far he's come....and I will probably do this once every week or two with different pictures.In the beginning it was hard to believe he was actually a kitten, he looked so bizarre.

He could barely walk - his rib cage showed and he had a little ping pong ball for a tummy. But BOY could he purr. And when he started eating!!!

Since he had never really fed from his mother - he wasn't sure what boobs were....kitty ones or human!

It wasn't until he was eight weeks old that he started to look like a real kitten!

And now? Well there's just no holding him back. He's a babe...and he knows it.

Today we are going to the tennis - the Australian open. Oliver wants to play Serena Williams!!!

Hi EveryoneI'm sure we all know that the London Olympics is just 2 years away and MM has decided he wants to enter. He's very serious about it. When I asked him what his event would be he said "The Decat-flon"! He's even gone as far as getting himself a trainer

And he's joined a gym - okay - it's a cat gym....but don't tell him that...he'd be so embarrassed!

Of course cycling is great training. But guess who is here for the tour down under who is ALSO in training?

So he decided to do some simple weights work - moving the coffee table

In the end though it was all too much for him. He's still only a little boy.

Don't cry Mighty Mouse - Lord Oliver Monta Purrington. I think you deserve a medal just for making me happy. And there's always the winter Olympics...if we can just get skis for your back paws.

About Mighty Mouse

Born in a litter of 6 to a beautiful Birman queen, the kittens looked to have a good start being normal weight. But within 24 hours, their mother had no milk and the kittens needed to be handraised. By the time he was 11 days old, barely hanging on to life, 2 of the kittens had died. He was the size of a mouse and weighed less than 100grams when he was a week old. His breeder struggled to hand feed the remaining 4 kittens without help, but it was an impossible task. She took him to the vet at 4 weeks to be put to sleep. But something about him persuaded the vet not to put him down. When I first encountered him, HE WOULDN'T STOP PURRING. In order to save the older 3 kittens, MM was destined to die - his luck had run out, and that's when I took him. It was his last chance and all the odds were against him. He weighed 210grams - which is about 7 ounces at 4.3 weeks and was mistaken at the vet's for an exotic Mouse. NOBODY expected him to live. But he had other ideas. You can read his story by following the link and joining Cat World ( a very simple process)- and that in turn has a link to his first few weeks. Enjoy
